That is a helpful comment about the Electronic Postmark. On my "Home and Business" software, it is called Postmark Report. I have the email at 3:36PM EDT saying the submission was accepted. The Postmark Report at 12:35 PDT (3:35 EDT) saying it was rejected. The acceptance State email arrived at 10:20 PM EDT.
As another point of reference, when I return to the Check e-File Review Status, and the click review again, it always takes me to the page to verify my wife's AGI where I enter "0" (the same as mine and consistent with the recommendation when the 2020 paper tax filing has not been processed). I have seen other postings with the same issue with the spouses AGI.
Thanks for your diligence. On a personal basis, at this time, I plan to rely on my acceptance email and periodically verify status on the IRS site, which says processing could take 21 days. However, I am continuing to respond in this thread in case there are others with a similar situation.
